Hydrogen-bearing species in the bone mineral environment were investigated using solid-state NMR spectroscopy of powdered bone, deproteinated bone, and B-type carbonated apatite. Using magic-angle spinning and cross-polarization techniques three types of structurally-bound water were observed in these materials. Two of these water types occupy vacancies within the apatitic mineral crystal in synthetic carbonated apatite and deproteinated bone and serve to stabilize these defect-containing crystals. The third water was observed at the mineral surface in unmodified bone but not in deproteinated bone, suggesting a role for this water in mediating mineral-organic matrix interactions. Direct evidence of monohydrogen phosphate in a 1H NMR spectrum of unmodified bone is presented for the first time. We obtained clear evidence for the presence of hydroxide ion in deproteinated bone by 1H MAS NMR. A 1H-31P heteronuclear correlation experiment provided unambiguous evidence for hydroxide ion in unmodified bone as well. Hydroxide ion in both unmodified and deproteinated bone mineral was found to participate in hydrogen bonding with neighboring water molecules and ions. In unmodified bone mineral hydroxide ion was found, through a 1H-31P heteronuclear correlation experiment, to be confined to a small portion of the mineral crystal, probably the internal portion.
Structuring over many length scales is a design strategy widely used in Nature to create materials with unique functional properties. We here present a comprehensive analysis of an adult sea urchin spine, and in revealing a complex, hierarchical structure, show how Nature fabricates a material which diffracts as a single crystal of calcite and yet fractures as a glassy material. Each spine comprises a highly oriented array of Mg-calcite nanocrystals in which amorphous regions and macromolecules are embedded. It is postulated that this mesocrystalline structure forms via the crystallization of a dense array of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) precursor particles. A residual surface layer of ACC and/or macromolecules remains around the nanoparticle units which creates the mesocrystal structure and contributes to the conchoidal fracture behavior. Natures demonstration of how crystallization of an amorphous precursor phase can create a crystalline material with remarkable properties therefore provides inspiration for a novel approach to the design and synthesis of synthetic composite materials.
Natural zeolite clinoptilolite CLIN with a framework ratio of Si/Al ≥ 4 containing mainly potassium and calcium ions in its internal channel system was used as a starting material. The acidic HCLIN catalysts were prepared under soft conditions avoiding the use of environmental less benign mineral acids. The starting material was ion exchanged using a 0.2 M aqueous ammonium nitrate solution at a temperature 80 ◦C for 2 h. The obtained NH4CLIN was converted into the acid HCLIN catalyst by calcination at 300–600 ◦C. The obtained samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM/TEM, AAS, and EDX element mapping. The state of aluminium and silicon was studied by 27Al- and 29SiMAS NMR spectroscopy. The textural properties of the catalysts were investigated by nitrogen adsorption and desorption measurements. The Brønsted acidity of the HCLIN catalysts was studied by temperature-programmed decomposition of the exchanged ammonium ions releasing ammonia as well as 1H MAS NMR, {1H–27Al} Trapdor, and {1H–27Al}
Redor experiments. The strongly agglomerated samples were crystalline and thermally stable up to >500 ◦C. Although a part of the clinoptilolite framework is maintained up to 600 ◦C, a loss of crystallinity is already observed starting from 450 ◦C. The specific surface areas of the starting CLIN and ammonium exchanged NH4CLIN are low with ca. 26 m2/g. The pores are nearly blocked by the exchangeable cations located in the zeolite pores. The thermal decomposition of the ammonium ions by calcination at 400 ◦C causes an opening of the pore entrances and a markable increase in the specific micropore area and micropore volume to ca. 163 m2/g and 0.07 cm3/g, respectively. It decreases with further rising calcination temperature indicating some structural loss. The catalysts show a broad distribution of Brønsted acid sites (BS) ranging from weak to strong sites as indicated the
thermal decomposition of exchanged ammonium ions (TPDA). The ammonium ion decomposition leaving BS, i.e., H+ located at Al–O–Si framework bridges, starts at ≥250 ◦C. A part of the Brønsted sites is lost after calcination specifically at 500 ◦C. It is related to the formation of penta-coordinated aluminium at the expense of tetrahedral framework aluminium. The Brønsted sites are partially recreated after repeated ammonium ion exchange. The catalytic performance of the acidic HCLIN
catalysts was tested in the etherification of glycerol as a green renewable resource with different C1 -C4 alcohols. The catalysts are highly active in the etherification of glycerol, especially with alcohols containing the branched, tertiary alkyl groups. Highest activity is observed with the soft activated catalyst HCLIN300 (300 ◦C, temperature holding time: 1 min). A total of 78% conversion of glycerol to mono and di ether were achieved with tert-butanol at 140 ◦C after 4 h of reaction.
The mono- and di-ether selectivity were 75% and 25%, respectively. The catalyst can be reused.
The preparation and structural investigation of 17O-enriched xNa2O(100-x)P2O5 glasses (46.5<=x<=62.8) by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is described. Enriched phosphoric acid was prepared by hydrolysis of PCl5 with 17O-enriched water and neutralized with sodium carbonate. The sodium metaphosphate was then melted at 800 °C for 15 h and quenched. Polyphosphate and ultraphosphate glass compositions were prepared by remelting the metaphosphate with sodium carbonate and phosphorus pentoxide, respectively. 31P magic angle sample spinning (MAS) NMR was used to determine the Na2O/P2O5 content in the glasses. 17O NMR spectra (quadrupole echo for non-rotating samples and multiple-quantum excitation for rotating samples (MQMAS)) show two oxygen sites in the samples with large quadrupolar coupling constants (4.7 and 7.7 MHz), in accordance with the high phosphorus electronegativity. According to the correlation of 17O quadrupolar constants with bond ionicity, these two components are attributed to bridging POP and non-bridging PO...Na oxygens. The average POP bond angle is estimated with the quadrupolar asymmetry derived from the fit of the static echo spectra. The MQMAS spectrum shows a distribution of non-bridging oxygen chemical shifts, attributed to a variation of bond length and angle.
Mixed sodiumlead borophosphate glasses were prepared in two compositional series xNa2O(50 - x)PbO10B2O340P2O5 and xNa2O(50 - x)PbO20B2O330P2O5 with x = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mol% Na2O. Their density decreases and molar volume increases slightly with increasing Na2O content. Chemical durability decreases steeply for glasses containing 4050 mol% Na2O, whereas glass transition temperatures reveals a minimum at the glasses with 3040 mol% Na2O. The 31P MAS NMR and Raman spectra of the first series show that with increasing Na2O content the ratio of structural units Q2/Q1 slowly increases and the Q2 phosphate units and BO4 units prevail in the structure of these glasses. In the second series of glasses Q1 diphosphate units together with BO4 and small number of BO3 units form structural network of glasses. The replacement of PbO by Na2O results in higher ionicity of bonding interactions between compensating cations and the anionic network. The lower cation field strength of Na+ ions results in the observed downfield shift of ? (31P) values in Na-rich glasses and narrower vibrational bands in their Raman spectra.
Rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) of spin- nuclei is an extremely useful tool for the determination of distances in solids as well as of relative orientations of chemical shift and dipole tensors. We present the corresponding version for measuring the relative orientation of electric quadrupole and dipole tensors and demonstrate its applicability for non-bridging oxygens in phosphate glasses using 17O{31P} REDOR NMR. The orientational information is found in the changes of the second-order quadrupole patterns as a function of the echo delay. Results and numeric simulations are presented for 17O{31P} REDOR NMR of 17O-enriched sodium phosphate glasses. For non-bridging oxygens, the symmetric quadrupole tensor is found to be aligned along the phosphorusoxygen bond. The distance between P and the non-bridging oxygen is calculated for two glasses of different compositions.
Glasses of the compositional series of 50PbOyB2O3(50-y)P2O5xTiO2 (with x=016) have been prepared and characterized by the determination of density, molar volume, glass transition temperature, dilatation softening temperature, thermal and chemical durability. Structural changes were evaluated from the studies by 31P and 11B MAS NMR, Raman and infrared spectroscopy. Molar volume of the glasses decreases and the glass transition temperature increases with increasing additions of TiO2. 31P MAS NMR spectra revealed that titanate units enter phosphate chains decreasing the number of Q2 units and increasing the number of Q1 units. This result is confirmed by the observed changes in the Raman and infrared spectra of the TiO2-doped glasses.
The cellulose model compound methyl 4-O-methyl-?-Image-glucopyranosyl-(1?4)-?-Image-glucopyranoside (6) was synthesised in high overall yield from methyl ?-Image-cellobioside. The compound was crystallised from methanol to give colourless prisms, and the crystal structure was determined. The monoclinic space group is P21 with Z=2 and unit cell parameters a=6.6060 (13), b=14.074 (3), c=9.3180 (19) Å, ?=108.95(3)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to R=0.0286 for 2528 reflections. Both glucopyranoses occur in the 4C1 chair conformation with endocyclic bond angles in the range of standard values. The relative orientation of both units described by the interglycosidic torsional angles [? (O-5?---C-1?---O-4---C-4) -89.1°, phi (C-1?---O-4---C-4---C-5) -152.0°] is responsible for the very flat shape of the molecule and is similar to those found in other cellodextrins. Different rotamers at the exocyclic hydroxymethyl group for both units are present. The hydroxymethyl group of the terminal glucose moiety displays a gauchetrans orientation, whereas the side chain of the reducing unit occurs in a gauchegauche conformation. The solid state 13C NMR spectrum of compound 6 exhibits all 14 carbon resonances. By using different cross polarisation times, the resonances of the two methyl groups and C-6 carbons can easily be distinguished. Distinct differences of the C-1 and C-4 chemical shifts in the solid and liquid states are found.
This study reports three new crystalline aluminum isopropoxide oxide fluorides with molar ratios of Al:F equal to 1:1 and 1:1.25. These are the first three representatives isolated without the incorporation of external donor molecules. Compound 1 Al4F4(µ4-O)(µ-O'Pr)5[H(O'Pr)2] contains a tetranuclear unit consisting of two different five fold coordinated AlFO4-units, with F exclusively in the terminal position. Compound 2, Al4F4(µ4-O)(µ-O'Pr)5[H(O'Pr)2]·Al5F5(µ5-O)(µ-O'Pr)8, contains both a tetranuclear unit (as in 1) and a pentanuclear Al-unit. Al-atoms in the latter are five- and six fold coordinated. Compound 3, Al16F20(µ4-O)4(µ-O'Pr)20·2('PrOH), exhibits a slightly higher fluorination degree and contains an oligomeric chain of four F-linked tetranuclear Al-units. In addition to X-ray structure analysis, compound 1 was characterized by different solid state MAS NMR techniques, including 27Al triple quantum MAS NMR and 1H, 1H→13C CP, 19F and 27Al MAS NMR. On the basis of the collected data, a reliable decomposition of 27Al single pulse MAS NMR spectra and an unambiguous assignment of the resonances to the respective structural AlFO4-units are given. The new crystalline aluminum isopropoxide oxide fluorides are direct evidence of the fluorolytic sol–gel mechanism previously discussed.
Solid-state NMR: a tool for probing the protein-mineral interface and other structures in bone
(2005)
Nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) prepared by a precipitation route was investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) powder patterns of the elongated nanocrystals with a typical diameter of about 10 nm and length of 30-50 nm (by transmission electron microscopy (TEM)) revealed the presence of HAp with significantly broadened XRD reflections. However, Ca deficiency was found, as the Ca/P ratio was 1.5 only (so-called calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)), and not 1.67. This Ca deficiency of nanocrystalline HAp is explained using NMR. It is shown unambiguously that (i) the nanocrystals consist of a crystalline core and a (disordered) surface region with a relative phosphate content of about 1:1, (ii) the crystalline core is HAp, and (iii) the surface region is dominated by hydrogen phosphate anions (with no hydroxyapatite-like structural motif) and structural water (hydrate). From the relative phosphate content and taking into account the crystal shape, the thickness of the surface layer along the main crystal axis could be estimated to be about 1 nm, and the average chemical composition of the surface layer has been determined. Finally, a Ca/P ratio of 1.52 was estimated from the NMR data that compares well with the value of 1.51 from chemical analysis. The important consequences are that the surface of nanocrystalline HAp has nothing in common with the bulk composition and that the chemistry of such materials (e.g. the binding of protein molecules to phosphate surfaces) must be reconsidered.
Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) can be used for converting the biomass into a carbon-rich material, whose application as a fuel requires higher heating value, whereas soil amendment needs stable carbon. This work was focused on the characterization of hydrochars derived from microcrystalline cellulose. The chars were investigated using elemental analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller technique, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Raman, Fourier transform infrared, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Severity in temperature between 230 and 270 °C with reaction times between 2 and 10 h only affect the carbon content moderately. The results show that aromatization of HTC chars correlates well with temperature, which was further supported by the increase of organic radicals with decreasing g values at higher temperatures. Based on these results, the energetic use of chars favors mild HTC (T < 230 °C and t ≤ 6 h), while the soil amendement favors serve conditions (T ≥ 230 °C, and t > 6 h).
In line with the industrial trend of additive manufacturing, cold spray as a non-laser-based process is becoming increasingly important for many fields of application. For the evaluation of additive manufacturing of winding components made of copper for large electrical high-voltage machines, material and component properties such as electrical conductivity, mechanical load capacity and the component size that can be produced are of particular importance. In this context, the cold spray process offers advantages over laser-based additive manufacturing processes such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) or laser cladding by using the kinetic energy of the copper powder particles to generate particle cohesion. To investigate the electrical conductivity as well as the mechanical load capacity of cold spray parts, specimens were machined out of cold sprayed bulk copper deposits. The characteristic values were obtained with regard to the direction of deposition, which is defined by the direction of the robot’s movement. Thus, for the investigation of the component properties, specimens were provided that had been produced both longitudinally and transversely as well as orthogonally to the direction of deposition. The results of the investigations show that both the electrical conductivity and the mechanical load capacity of the specimen have a strong preferential direction of the specimen orientation with respect to the direction of deposition. Furthermore, it could be shown that by increasing the deposition height, there is an increasing oxygen content in the sample material, combined with increasingly significant defect networks. These effects have a negative impact on the electrical conductivity as well as on the mechanical load capacity. As a conclusion, further need for investigation is identified in the optimization of the process parameters as well as in the deposition strategy for the additive manufacturing of large-volume components with cold spray.
Three methyl celluloses with completely uniform substitution pattern, 2-O-methyl cellulose (1), 3-O-methyl cellulose (2) and 6-O-methyl cellulose (3), were prepared according to the cationic ring opening polymerization approaches starting from substituted 1,2,4-orthopivalate derivatives of D-glucose. These samples allowed for the first time to sort out the methyl substitution effects on solid-state NMR chemical shifts and relaxation. Dipolar dephasing experiments allowed the detection and assignment (1H, 13C) of the methyl groups. In 1 and 2, these resonances overlapped with those of C-6, whereas in 3, the methyl signal experienced a low-field shift into the region of C-2,3,5. 13C T1 experiments were used to verify different relaxation behavior of the carbon sites, particularly the short relaxation time of at the carbon substitution site next to the methyl groups. This effect was used to unambiguously identify the 13C chemical shifts of the carbons carrying the methoxyl substituent, although they overlap with all resonances in the C-2,3,5 region. The data obtained for the standard samples with uniform substitution will now be used as the basis for determining methylation patterns and substitution degree in commercial methyl celluloses.
Improved large mesoporous ordered molecular sieves - Stabilization and acid/base functionalization
(2010)
The preparation of nanoporous materials with enhanced stability using an improved synthesis route using reactive inorganic silica and alumina species is reported. This way improved mesoporous molecular sieves were obtained. The synthesized aluminum substituted mesoporous molecular materials (Al-MMS) contain very large pores of 50200 Å size combined with an improved pore wall thickness. Increased wall thickness and Al substitution lead to an improved chemical stability against alkaline solution. The textural, structural and acid properties are investigated by physico-chemical methods. The catalytic performance acidic materials was tested in the benzoylation reaction; amino functionalized materials were studied in the base catalyzed Michael addition.
This study presents for the first time an NMR spectroscopic characterization of the room and high temperature phases of (NH4)3InF6 using 19F and 115In as probe nuclei. The reversible phase transition to the cubic phase at 353 K was followed by MAS NMR in situ. Static NMR experiments of the room temperature phase and MAS NMR experiments of the high temperature phase allowed the determination of the NMR parameters of both nuclei. Finally, the scalar In–F coupling, rarely observed in solid state NMR, is evidenced in both room and high temperature phases of (NH4)3InF6, and measured in the high temperature phase.
Geopolymer-zeolite composites were synthesized using a silica-rich industrial byproduct from chlorosilane production and sodium aluminate. Pastes were cured at 80 °C and 80% RH, and subsequently dried in two different climates: at 23 °C and 50% RH, and under vacuum. 1H MAS, 23Na MAS and 29Si MAS NMR and XRD measurements were performed after the drying procedures as well as after subsequent aging. Zeolite Na-A was found beside traces of faujasite-type zeolite and zeolite EMT as major crystalline phases in the cured composites; the fraction of geopolymeric gel in the reaction products was determined to be ~18% on a molar basis. Various water species could be distinguished using 1H MAS and 1H-29Si CP MAS NMR, applying rotorsynchronized echo experiments. The largest fraction of the pore water resides in the α-cages of the zeolite Na-A and in the geopolymeric gel; in addition, water exists in the β-cages of the zeolites and adsorbed at sodium ions. The water species in α-cages and in the pores of the geopolymeric gel exhibit slightly different chemical shifts of 4.7 ppm and 4.9 ppm, respectively, in the 1H MAS NMR spectra. Changes of the water content in the geopolymer pores of differently dried samples were observed and led to slightly varied chemical shifts in the 29Si MAS NMR spectra too. Measurements after more than 500 days revealed no significant aging effects of the composites, which confirm their chemical stability.
29Si{27Al} TRAPDOR MAS NMR was applied to two faujasite-type zeolites with Si/Al ratios of 1.3 (Na-X) and 2.7 (Na-Y). The aim of this test study is to show that different Q4(mAl) sites (m=4,3,2,1) can be distinguished by differently strong TRAPDOR effects (ΔS/S0). Indeed, it was found that the TRAPDOR effect depends on the number m of AlO4 units connected to the Q4 silicon tetrahedrons. For Na-X, the measured ΔS/S0 values are 1:0.81:0.56 for Q4(4Al), Q4(3Al) and Q4(2Al), respectively (normalized to Q4(4Al)). The corresponding ΔS/S0 values are the same for Na-Y within the error bars, although the silicon sites are different: Q4(3Al), Q4(2Al) and Q4(1Al) and now normalized to Q4(3Al) as no Q4(4Al) is present. Nevertheless, the proposed method opens up the possibility to distinguish overlapping 29Si NMR signals of the Qn(mAl) sites in amorphous materials as the main goal of these investigations.
A solid-state NMR comparison of the mineral structure in bone from diseases joints in the horse
(2007)
In this work, subchondral cortical bone material is investigated from the joints of five horses, three of which presented with no clinical signs or radiographic signs of osteoarthritis and two of which suffered osteoarthritis joint disease, as judged by clinical and radiographic assessment and histological findings. The horse is a good model for osteoarthritis in humans, so the aim of this study is to use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for a detailed investigation of the bone structure in bone material affected by osteoarthritis. In particular, we report on the assessment of the mineral structure of these samples as viewed by solid-state NMR.
The need to improve the sustainability and the need for innovation in the cement industry has brought to light the practice of using additives to the cement in order to decrease CO2 emissions in industrial plants and increase the quality of cement in terms of durability and performance. Currently some additives have been employed as granulated blast furnace slag, limestone and pozzolan. The additives give mortar and concrete larger energy efficiency, gain in durability and resistance, contributing to buildings with slender structures and cheaper and durable maintenance. Besides natural pozzolan can be used artificial ones, as calcined clays, and over a range of amorphous aluminates and silicates waste, with highly reactive function as a binder material in the presence of water and calcium hydroxide. Calcined kaolinite clays were characterized using various techniques such as XRD, thermal analysis, and NMR observing 27Al and 29Si nuclei. The results showed that there is a structural modification of the samples, from crystalline to amorphous phases with the increasing of temperature in the calcination process. There is an improving in the reactivity of calcined clays by the range of 600ºC to 750ºC temperature in the reaction with calcium oxide, according to data from Chapelle test, indicating the possibility of using them as additives for cement and confirming their pozzolanic potential.

The very strong Lewis acid aluminium chlorofluo-ride (ACF) was loaded with anhydrous HF. The interactionbetween the surface of the catalyst and HF was investigatedusing a variety of characterization methods, which revealed he formation of polyfluorides. Moreover, the reactivity ofthe HF-loaded ACF towards the hydrofluorination of alkyneswas studied.
